Thanks very much for the info Richard – superb!
What I did last night was to create a new project – and File/Import the original ProRes File (ProRes 422 – 720×576 (1024×576) qt_apcn)
In the import dialogue – under the ‘Resolution’ drop down menu, I selected ‘Apple ProRes Proxy MXF’ – and clicked ‘Open’.
I understand that will transcode my original file into ProRes Proxy – is that right?
It took about 3 hours and now I can see and edit the new file in my project.
What I would like to know is – when I am ready to export, how do I relink to my original full rez ProRes file?
Also – when I look at the source of the transcoded file – it still points to the original ProRes file and not the new Proxy Mxf files. (although , when I do a ‘Reveal File’ – it does go to the new Proxy transcode)
Any info much appreciated
Kindest Regards
Simon
